Just go to http://tinyurl.com/2sy76b
to see how many brand new ones
are still around. There are currently 19 with 2 of them being M6's.
The rest are autos.
$15,000 for a 2004 is pretty common around this area. Unfortunately
all the LS2's are still asking new prices for used vehicles with
almost 30,000 miles on them. They'll drop eventually. But for that
price, you may as well go get a new G8's. They're turning low to mid
13's out of the box and very low 13's with a tune - 4 doors too! Next
year the GXP is supposed to get the LS3 and an M6.
